Summary

This study tests a communication tool called MyConnect Post-Op, which uses AI-guided conversations to support patients after knee or hip replacement surgery. About 650 adults aged 22 to 80 who are scheduled for joint replacement will use the app on their smartphones. The researchers will collect conversation logs to see how well the tool guides recovery, identifies potential complications, and offers recommendations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
MyConnect Post-Op, a post-operative communication software that uses AI-guided conversations to support recovery
What this could lead to
If the tool works well, it could help joint replacement patients recover more safely at home by catching complications early and offering clear guidance.
What could go wrong
This is a data collection study, not a test of effectiveness, so it may not prove the tool improves outcomes. The AI's advice might not always be accurate, and patients could still need in-person care.
